			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Im spending a lot of time in the office recently and I&#8217;m one of those people who cant work without music playing really loud in the background. I&#8217;m sure its not just me who thinks better when music is playing loud, so I thought I would put together a quick list of the top 10 free music streaming service that are currently available. Some of these services can only be used in specific countries, but I&#8217;m sure this will change in 2009.</p>
<p><a href="http://pandora.com" target="_blank">Pandora</a> &#8211; Pandora is now just a USA based service. However, Pandora is  a great service for those in the USA and im surprised if most people in the USA don&#8217;t already use it. Pandora is basically a music radio service which lets you listen to customised radio stations.</p>
<p><a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">Last.fm</a> &#8211; I have never really understood Last.fm myself, but they have a great service in which will let you stream music from certain artists. Some have full tracks for free to stream, but others have videos or some nothing at all.</p>
<p><a href="http://seeqpod.com" target="_blank">Seeqpod</a> &#8211; Seeqpod is basically Google for music. Seepqod is a search engine that allows users to find whatever music they want to listen too. Seeqpod can only find music that can easily be downloaded on the net, so it can be limited with some artists, plus sometimes the tracks might be corrupted and not completely work. However, it is great for making playlists.</p>
<p><a href="http://spotify.com" target="_blank">Spotify</a> &#8211; Spotify is a new music service that has launched out of Sweden. I have been using Spotify for several months now, even though it is in private beta testing. Though the music is streamed, it is played instantly and is partly supported by the famous P2P technology. Currently the service is only available in Finland, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden and UK. Spotify has to be the best music streaming service I have used in 2008.</p>
<p><a href="http://music.myspace.com" target="_blank">Myspace Music</a> &#8211; Myspace is of course the worlds largest social network and Myspace Music is just an add-on of this social network. With Myspace Music users can search for pretty much any artist in the world and stream the music they have on their profiles. Remember it is limited to only the music the artist wants you to hear.</p>
<p><a href="http://rhapsody.com" target="_blank">Rhapsody</a> &#8211; Rhapsody has a nice &#8220;listen FREE&#8221; search option at the top of its homepage, an excellent way to entice people to sign up for its premium service. Once you find the artist you are looking for then you can play any of the songs in their catalogue for free. However, then I realised streaming is only for the USA.</p>
<p><a href="http://imeem.com" target="_blank">Imeem</a> &#8211; Imeem is a mixture between music streaming service and social network. On Imeem to stream music all you need to do is to search for the artist you want to listen to and then the majority of the time they will already have an Imeem account.</p>
<p><a href="http://deezer.com" target="_blank">Deezer </a>- Deezer is a mixture between Seeqpod and Imeem. Deezer has some social networking aspects but mainly it is just a great music streaming service that is very easy to find the music you are looking for. All music on there is legal and free and artists actually get royalties from your streams.</p>
<p><a href="http://skreemr.com" target="_blank">Skreemr </a>- Skreemr is very similar to Seepqod and it is just basically a search engine for music online. Skreemr is a free service that picks up free music from across the internet and allows you to play it easily. However, unlike Seeqpod they don&#8217;t allow users to make playlists.</p>
<p><a href="http://lala.com" target="_blank">Lala</a> &#8211; Lala is one of the new music streaming services on the block. Lala provides free streaming to only USA users. There is a limit on how many times you can listen to a track for free, but you also have the option of purchasing that stream for $0.10 so then you have can unlimited plays. Additionally, if you want to take the tracks off the site then there is an option of $0.79 for the download.
